Iberian ham - Pata Negra ham - Bellota ham
Iberian ham is one of the best hams you can find, but sometimes you get a bit lost with all the different names and variations.
All the Iberian hams offered on Spain-Gourmet come from free-range Iberian pigs . If these animals give us pleasure, at least let them live free and happy.
That's why we don't carry Iberian hams with the white label that come from pigs that live in confinement.
A quick guide. An Iberian ham is a ham that comes from a pig of at least 50% Iberian breed. A 100% Iberian ham fed on acorns is a Pata Negra ham.

And one last indication. The ham is the back leg and the shoulder is the front leg. The difference in price between a ham and a shoulder comes from the yield of the piece. The shoulder is fatter.
If you're buying a ham on the bone, don't peel off all the fat from the ham or shoulder, and make slices with the meat and fat.
The fat in an Iberian ham or shoulder is synonymous with quality, and allows for longer maturing.The taste of ham.
